Abstract
The main idea of component-based development is to use existing
components for building software. The resulting software often has
features which complicate testing, such a feature is, for example, the
absence of component source code. This article proposes an approach for
testing, which explicitly takes into account testing-relevant features
of component-based software and thus allows more rigorous testing. The
basic constituent of the approach is a graphical representation
combining black- and white-box information from specification and
implementation, respectively. This graphical representation can then be
used for test case identification based on well-known structural
techniques
